Hi, I have extra growth finger like projection on my vulva its been for 5 to 6 years What is that how to get rid of it.

Question

Causes:
The growths, or papillae, occur in a line or as symmetrical patches on the labia minora ? smaller inner folds ? on both sides of the vulva. They can also occur in the vestibule, which is the opening of the vagina surrounded by the labia minora. The papillae can be smooth, round bumps or finger-like projections.

Suggestion:
Soak in lukewarm or cool sitz baths.
After intercourse, apply ice or a frozen gel pack wrapped inside a hand towel.
Alternatively, topical heat applied with a heating pad can reduce pain in some women with vulvodynia.
Try relaxation techniques.

First, protect the surrounding skin by applying petroleum jelly or coconut oil to the area. Soak a Q-tip in iodine and spread the liquid across the tag. Cover the area with a bandage until the iodine has dried. Repeat this treatment twice a day until the tag drops off.
